I looked in the results log client.DEBUG and saw that it was timing out on login after trying to ssh into vm1. It had received the RSA question and replied with a "yes". I was able to manually start qemu-kvm and then connect to it with ssh. I did notice that after typing in "yes" for the RSA, that it took some time to prompt me for a password. I then connected my network cable and when I ran ssh, the password prompt came up immediately after typing in "yes". Could this delay be the source of my login timeout problem? Is there some place I can adjust the timeout?
